Investment Objectives and Practices [Text Block]
The Company’s investment objectives are to seek to provide high current income while maintaining downside protection.
The Company seeks to invest in assets that will enable it to:
provide current income in the form of regular, stable cash distributions to achieve an attractive distribution yield;
preserve and protect invested capital, by primarily focusing on high-quality credit investments supported by current cash-flow and/or limited business plan risk in the underlying assets;
reduce downside risk through loans with relatively low loan-to-value ratios, meaning we generally invest in less risky loans with low interest rates which are backed by high-quality real assets, with a focus on residential lending and with meaningful borrower equity; and
provide an investment alternative for shareholders seeking to allocate a portion of their long-term investment portfolios to CRE debt with expected lower volatility than publicly traded securities and compelling risk-adjusted returns compared to fixed income alternatives.
The Company’s investment strategy is to originate, acquire, finance and manage a portfolio of primarily CRE investments, focused on senior secured, CRE loans across a wide range of geography. The Company focuses its investments in the middle market, with loans in the range of $25 - $100 million, across a mix of asset classes, but maintains a focus on multi-family lending. To a lesser extent, the Company may invest in, or originate, other real-estate related debt and equity investments, which may include subordinated debt, CMBS and CLOs
The Company is a fixed-term BDC, meaning it is an investment vehicle of defined duration. Following the initial closing, the Company has an Investment Period of 18 months during which it may invest capital commitments and reinvest proceeds in line with the Company’s investment strategy. The term of the Company shall not extend beyond the 4 year anniversary of the end of the Investment Period.
We are conducting a private offering of our Common Shares in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to investors that are (i) accredited investors (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) and (ii) in the case of Common Shares sold outside the United States, to persons that are not “U.S. persons” (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act). At the closing of any private placement, each investor will make a Capital Commitment to purchase Common Shares pursuant to a Subscription Agreement entered into with us. Investors will be required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of Common Shares up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments each time we deliver the Drawdown Notice to the investors.
We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, other than national economic conditions affecting real estate generally, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from our real estate debt investments or real estate-related securities, other than those referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
